Spring Sumarry

It's been a really busy year.  The Biker Church took up lots of time, whether it was working at the shop or passing out fliers or doing an event, We have kept busy!

Well, since I never got around to it earlier, I'll have to make a simple summary of the Spring and part of Summer.

It wasn't long after the Sunrise Service that we had an "open house" at the biker church.  We set up a table and made food for everyone who wanted to come.  We had one of the helpers play music on a guitar and sing live.  We set up two bounce houses for the kids to play in as well.  After everyone had eaten for a while, Dad started a program.  We had bunches of prizes to give away and had several challenges.  In one we put a motorcycle part in a bag and whoever guessed it first got a T-shirt.  Another one was something that seems easy but is surprisingly difficult.  The five cracker challenge.  Five crackers.  One minute.  No water.  Nobody finished, but we gave the closest winner another T-shirt.

After that we had an event at the Pueblo Steel Mill.  It was difficult as always to get things going, but we did and had many kids come to bounce in the bounce houses and take some of the free books.  It wasn't a huge event, so we weren't overflowing with kids.  It was a calm but productive event, and I was glad to help with it.  In addition, at the end we gave away some prizes including an ipod.

Throughout the months we had several events at the Harley Davidson Outpost dealership, one of which was ruined by bad winds.  A few minutes after we had set up, the wind started and we had to tear down.  The other times were usually more successful, although slow.

We had many meetings, discussing upcoming events and long term goals of the ministry.

  Then the Summer came, and with it a never-ending schedule.  June was busy, but July was totally booked!  County Fair, VBS and other activities filled the month.  In the last month, things slowed down just a bit, allowing us to prepare for Sturgis.
